Well, the idea is that you wouldn't copy the "symlink" until the
resources were fully there, wherever that may be.

And just so we're crystal clear, Bob wasn't proposing a *real* symlink,
so OS compatibilities aren't in play here.  He proposed a "conceptual"
or "poor man's" symlink: a simple text file, containing the path to the
location of the fully-there resources.

Maybe, but I hope not.  In AS6, we had a way (structure deployer?) to
describe a valid-but-non-standard deployment artifact.

Right, see above.
